AHUWA-University of Liverpool

Architecture, Heritage, Urbanism in West Africa (AHUWA) research centre is based at the University of Liverpool. With a focus on West Africa we write new histories and promote new voices. We have a particular specialism in modern architecture, cities, and coastal heritage.

We work with local communities, artists, writers, designers, architects, historians, and scholars to understand heritage and culture in West Africa.

We partner with institutions, collections, scholars, and communities across Africa and beyond to investigate the most pressing questions about cities, design, history, heritage, and urbanism.
